"We don't have much power on the team," Sammons told The Chronicle. "This is the way we score runs. If we're five, six runs down, we're still going to run."

Sammons kept running in 1991. He played the year largely at single-A Madison and stole 54 bases there while hitting .288. He also saw a two-game stint at AAA Tacoma. He went 1 for 5 and didn't get to attempt a steal.

He move to the Astros system and AA Jackson for 1992. He hit .227 in 87 games and stole 24 to end his career short of the bigs.
